The One Amazon IPI Hack You Can’t Afford to Ignore ????

If your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score isn’t where it should be, you’re already paying the price—higher storage fees, stricter limits, and lost sales opportunities. The good news? Fixing it doesn’t require magic, just strategy.

There’s one high-impact move that can improve your IPI faster than anything else: Sell-Through Rate Optimization.

Here’s why—and how—you can start implementing it today.

Why Sell-Through Rate is the Game Changer

Amazon’s algorithm rewards fast-moving inventory and penalizes anything that just sits there collecting dust. Your IPI is built on:

? Sell-through rate – The speed at which you move inventory compared to storage. ? Excess inventory – Overstocked SKUs drag down your score. ? In-stock rate – Running out of high-demand items hurts your ranking.

If your inventory sells too slowly, Amazon assumes it’s dead weight. And they don’t like dead weight.

How to Boost Sell-Through and Improve Your IPI

1?? Liquidate Dead Stock—Fast

If a product isn’t moving, keeping it around is a liability. Move it out.

• Run deep discounts on aging inventory.
• Create bundles to increase perceived value.
• Use Amazon’s markdown promotions to push visibility.

?? Example: A seller we worked with dropped a slow-moving SKU’s price by 15%, and within two weeks, their sell-through rate increased by 35%—directly improving their IPI.

2?? Prioritize Restocking High-Demand SKUs

Amazon favors consistency in availability. If you keep your best sellers in stock, they reward you.

• Analyze your top-selling SKUs and ensure priority restocking.
• Delay or reduce reordering of low-margin, slow-moving products until you clear space.

?? Example: A brand replenishing bestsellers before running out saw an instant IPI jump once their sell-through rate stabilized.

3?? Stop Overstocking the Wrong SKUs

More inventory isn’t always better. Storing slow-moving products is a trap.

• Keep only 30-60 days of stock at Amazon FBA at a time.
• Store overflow with 3PL partners instead of clogging Amazon’s fulfillment centers.

?? Tip: Sellers who shifted excess stock to external warehouses saw a 10-15% improvement in their IPI within months.

4?? Use Amazon’s Own Data to Your Advantage

Amazon’s Restock Inventory tool gives personalized recommendations on what to reorder—and what to avoid.

• Follow their suggestions to align with their algorithm’s preferences.
• Stay proactive—Don’t just guess what to send in.

?? Smart Move: Amazon wants you to listen to their system—align your strategy, and you’ll be rewarded.
